Do Your Christmas Shopping at the STUDENT CO-OP By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Editor Leading by as much as nine points in the first half, A&M blew their second basketball game of the season, losing to Sam Houston State College, 59-58, on a field goal in the final two seconds of play. In a game marked by sloppy play and general wildness, the Ag gies lost their second road game of the year, and find their record 1-2, having beaten their only home opponent. Stu Heller, 6-6 sophomore from McKeesport, Pa., took high point honors for the Cadets of Coach Ken Loeffler but Carl Davis led scorers for the night with 22. George Mehaffey and Ted Harrod, the only seniors on the A&M team, trailed Heller with nine apiece while Neil Swisher dropped in eight. With 18 seconds to play, Mehaf fey stole a Bearkat pass and flip ped to Harrod who went in all alone for an easy lay-up that put the Aggies out in front, 58-55. Harrod fouled Davis and the Sam Houston guard dropped both his free throws to pull within one point of the Maroon with five sec onds to go. Mehaffey’s pass in bounds fell into the hands of Da vis who laid it up easily for the winning points and the home crowd that had packed the tiny Bearkat hotbox filled the gym with noise.

The Aggies opened the night’s scoring with Jim McNichol mesh ing a crip shot, but the Bearkats bounced back with seven straight points before Mehaffey’s jump shot brought the score to 7-4. Me haffey scored four more, but fouls by him and McNichol gave the Sam Houston five a total of six and the Bearkats pulled away to a 19-14 lead when Loeffler yanked the first quint and put Fritzie Connally, Heller, Harrod, Tom Kolle and Erwin Turner into the ball game for the first time. Two drives by Connally and one by Turner pulled the Aggies to within two points and Harrod meshed a lay-up to tie the score at 21-21 with 8:51 left in the first half. Davis put the Kats back in front with two gratis shots, but Kolle drove in for his first score to tie it again, then Heller’s fine jump shot pushed A&M out in front with 7:30 left in the half. Harrod, Heller and Connally hit for bas kets while the Ags were holding Sam Houston to three points to go ahead 31-25, moved out in front by their largest margin with 4:21 to go at 35-26 and left the floor at the intermission with a 37-30 lead. Mainly on the shooting of Davis and Jochec, the Bearkats pecked away at the Aggie lead in the sec ond half and gradually took up the slack. Davis’ jump shot with 2:28 left in the game pulled the Sam Houston five to 56-55 when Harrod stole the ball for the final A&M basket, setting up Davis’ dramatic finish.
